Jeff, who overcame a stroke and built a business empire in Nashville, shares how reading Proverbs daily helped him hit $10 million in sales and exit peacefully.

You'll discover how to leverage ‘God’s economy’ — a mindset of generosity, righteousness, and service — to create real wealth that lasts beyond profits.

We break down concrete tactics Jeff used: prayerful business planning, intentional wealth-building, and his unique concept of “Godprenor,” entrepreneurs who see divine guidance in their work. You'll learn how spiritual laws like gratitude and joy can supercharge your productivity, and why giving is the secret to receiving abundantly.
